Lilacs, Syringa 
The objection to the old common lilacs was that they are 
slow about commencing to bloom. The newer Hybrid Lilacs 
bloom much younger, often the year following planting if giv¬ 
en suitable conditions, are more varied in color and more dwarf. 
Valuable for fragrance and freedom of bloom in early spring; 
well suited for distant effects, for planting in the corners or 
boundaries, as screens, massed in groups and for specimen plants. 
Will stand a little morning and evening shade but full sun with 
good air drainage is best. Well drained soil, not too rich, gives 
a short-jointed growth that produces an abundance of flower 
buds. Prune after blooming, a little each year resulting in well 
formed bushes and flowers well placed over the entire bush. We
